FINGER-nine.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 9, 1909.

Application filed. November 18, 1908. Serial No. 463,141.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LoUIs E. SADLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Attleboro, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Finger-Rings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improvement in finger rings and more particularly to an improvement in means for securing the head of a seal ring or similar finger ring to the body of the ring.

The object of my invention is to improve the construction of a finger ring having a hollow box-shaped head, whereby the head is rigidly secured to the body of the ring without solder.

A further object of my invention is to simplify the construction of a seal ring or similar finger ring having a circular body member and a hollow box-shaped head, thereby reducing the cost of manufacturing the same.

My invention consists in the peculiar and novel construction of a finger ring having a body member in the form of a strip bent to form approximately three quarters of a circle, a hollow box-shaped head having oppositely-disposed holes and prongs on the ends of the body member adapted to enter the holes in the head and the head secured to the body member by bending the prongs on the body member over on the inside of the head, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter and claimed.

Figure 1 is a side view of a finger ring embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a top view of the ring. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail sectional View of one side of the head, showing the holes in that side of the head which are duplicated on the opposite side of the head. Fig. 4: is an enlarged detail View of one end of the body member or band, showing the prongs which are duplicated on the opposite end of the band. Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail sectional view similar to Fig. 3, showing the head secured to the band or body member, and Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail View, showing one end of a modified form of band or body member.

In the drawings, a indicates the body of the ring, and b the hollow box-shaped head which may be of any design or configuration desired.

The body a is preferably in the form of a half round strip of metal having the enlarged ends 7 7 and the two prongs 8 8, as shown in Fig. 4, on each end and bent to form approximately three quarters of a circle, as shown in Fig. 1.

The hollow box-shaped head Z) has the bottom 9, the sides 10 10 each of which has the holes 11 11, the ends 12 12 all formed integral, and the top 13, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. The holes 11 11 are spaced to receive the prongs S 8 and are in oppositely-disposed positions in each side of the head. The head 6 is rigidly secured to the body member a without solder by inserting the prongs 8 8 on the body member through the holes 11 11 in each side of the head and bending the prongs 8 8 back against the side of the head, as shown in Fig. 5. The top 13 is now secured to the head in any well known way, preferably without solder.

It is evident that the enlarged ends of the body member a may be bifurcated, as shown in Fig. 6, and the member may be plain or ornamented if'desired without materially affecting the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A finger ring formed of two parts, comprising a head member having holes formed in the sides thereof, a body member provided with prongs, the two parts being secured together by inserting the prongs of the body member through the holes in the head member and bending them at right angles.

2. A finger ring consisting of a body member formed of a strip of metal bent to form approximately three-quarters of a circle and having prongs on each end, and a hollow box-shaped head having holes in the sides for the prongs, the two parts being secured together by bending the prongs back against the inside of the head member, as shown.

3. In a finger ring, the combination of a body member a having the ends 7 on which are the prongs 8 8 and a hollow box-shaped In testimony whereof I have signed this head I) having the bottom 9, the sides 10 10 specification in the presence of two subscribin Which are the holes l1 11, the ends 12 12 ing Witnesses.

and the top 13, and being secured to the LOUIS E. SADLER. body member a by bending the prongs 8 8 WVitnesses: back against the sides 10 10 of the head ADA E. HAGERTY, member, as described. J. A. MILLER.
